COULD YOU BE LEAF’S MATCH?

Unfortunately his home in Romania couldn’t look after him anymore, so he was brought to the shelter and is surrounded by lots of new dog friends and lovely volunteers to keep him company until he finds his forever home. 

He is a perfect boy, very sweet & friendly, he loves making new friends (both humans and dogs!), going for walks and playing with egg cartons. Described by our volunteers as “just perfect”. When he was playing in the play area with dogs , he demonstrated good behaviour particularly with dogs similar size and larger! He didn’t initiate play but did seemed to follow what other dogs are doing, i.e. another dog was playing chase , he then would join in, sometimes this got him a little aroused however did settle. 

When seeing a new environment for the first time, Leaf was a little nervous and submissive , rolling over and exposing his belly. However once confidence was built by the volunteers he went on some great walks and happily accepted the harness. He was confident walking, particularly when he was by himself too. He seemed very interested in his environment and food, recalling for food nicely. He passed some tractors and wasn’t concerned with the noise at all, keeping his nose to the ground. He does pull a lot and get very excitable, which needs to be worked on during training however was very easily engaged back to the volunteer. Whilst walking a couple of roaming dogs approached and did react a couple of times when entering into his space. 

Leaf is a smashing young dog full of amazing qualities that would be perfect for a forever home wanting a loving furry companion.
